Lyrics
[verse]
I never learned to let the water show up in my eyes
Kept it all inside a fortress built on quiet lies
She packed the boxes slow, I watched her from the hall
Told myself I'm solid, told myself I wouldn't fall
[chorus]
The music has to cry the tears I can't
Let the horns speak soft where my voice won't
The bassline knows the ache I never say out loud
Let the song cry, let it cry for both of us now
[verse]
Remember summer drives with the windows down and free
Remember how she laughed before the distance came for me
I traded warm for cold, thought that made me strong
Now the silence in this house is its own kind of song
[chorus]
The music has to cry the tears I can't
Let the horns speak soft where my voice won't
The bassline knows the ache I never say out loud
Let the song cry, let it cry for both of us now
[bridge]
Pride is just a mask a broken man will wear
I'd give the crown back just to have her sitting there
Too late for speeches, too late to make it right
So I let the record spin into the night
[chorus]
The music has to cry the tears I can't
Let the horns speak soft where my voice won't
The bassline knows the ache I never say out loud
Let the song cry, let it cry for both of us now
